The closest thing would be illegal tropical fish sales/fishing in areas with turtles resulting in the turtles being caught in the net. There are also dolphins seen in captivity but they're apparently rescues.

in ep 7 (Moon Spell) emma is very sexualised, she kisses byron and then grabs his butt. they are 15 year old characters.
in ep 9 a man whistles at Rikki. It's shortly discovered that he was not catcalling her however, and was amazed by a fish. he later goes on to flirt with Rikki, despite her being a minor
ep 21 "I agree she's no Oxford graduate, but she looks good." said by an adult about a minor in a creepy tone.
ep 24 someone (who i think is also a minor?) tells cleo to "wear something short - and tight."
S3 ep 20 "short and tight" bit is done again and cleo is wolf whistled at

Several shower/bath scenes throughout the show, although most of the bath scenes the girls have their tails and aren't technically naked. There is one where we see a young boy showering, however.

in the first episode rikki jokes "that doesn't mean we're married, does it?" and emma replies "now that was actually funny". this seems vaguely homophobic as it implies that the idea of girls being married is weird
also some misogyny from lewis - in ep 18 he says "so much for independent women..." after the girls look at the full moon.
kim calls cleo a "slave driver" for paying her to do the washing up
a kid tells elliot that he runs "like a girl"
a group of people are described derogatorily as "limp wristed" which is both ableist and homophobic.

In season one someone is trapped on a sinking boat but does not drown. One of the mermaids is caught in a net and has to hold her breath. In season three there’s something with a character underwater where a mermaid has to kiss and breathe air into him.

No, but there is a scene where a girl is locked in a freezer overnight and is unconscious the next morning. It could be scary to a child, I remember thinking she was dead when watching it when I was younger.
